Private carriers will charge you the fees for goods crossing borders for ISF, Customs declaration, etc. Just because you didn't get charged from one carrier and got charged from another doesn't mean the first carrier is better, they simply forgot to bill you for it.

Postal service doesn't typically charge you for it because they are not as "for profit" as private carriers, plus they do not have an efficient system for sending you a bill through the mail.
